intentionally you can't say he's guilty. >> reporter: anderson cooper spoke exclusively to juror b-37 soon after the verdict how they got to a not guilty verdict. >> after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law and reading it over and over and over again we decided there's just no way, other place to go. >> reporter: after more than 16 hours of deliberations, maddy says she struggled with the proof to conflict. >> how did you go from in nine hours from feeling he was guilty of second-degree murder and not guilty? >> a lot of wanted to find something bad we could connect to the law. >> reporter: maddy concedes she still struggles with the verdict and the public outcry that followed. >> i literally fell on my knees and broke down, my husband was holding me, i was screaming and crying and i kept saying to myself i feel like i killed. >> what would you like to say to

sort of turns the conversation into a sexual thing and it becomes very flattering. >> reporter: wean ear peering with his wife by his side admitted tuesday to a new round of lewd exchanges with women after he got caught and left office. on thursday for the first time he put a number on just how many women. >> i don't believe i had any more than three. >> reporter: and as for how many all together? >> it's not dozens and dozens. it is six to ten, i suppose. >> reporter: when he launched his mayoral campaign weiner raised the possibility other women may come forward. now he says that's all behind him but admitted he continues to get professional help and when asked if it's an addiction? >> i don't believe that it is. the people that i'm working with don't believe that it is. >> reporter: all of this is taking a toll on weiner's bid for mayor of new york city.

on the 13 bodies left and the judges have the black box from the train to see if that can shed any light on why this accident took place. the heart-stopping moment of impact caught on security camera. it's a difficult scene to watch as the train speeds around the bend, flies off the tracks and slams into concrete. flames engulf one of the cars, another ripped in half. >> it was horrific, it was so griming, it was so surreal. it felt like a horror movie. >> reporter: the crash wednesday killed at least a third of the passengers on board in the town of santiago de compostela. this morning we're learning that one american was killed, anna maria cordoba a virginia mother traveling with her family according to the catholic diocese of arlington. she was headed to her son who just reached a pilgrimage in spain. her husband and daughter were injured but survived. >> i can only imagine how horrible it must have been for

their son, you know, waiting for them to arrive. it's just such a horrible story, brought home very closely to us because of anna maria's death. >> reporter: emergency crews and fellow passengers pulled victims from the wreckage. >> everybody started running down with whatever they could and starting hitting at the cars to see if they could get the people out. >> reporter: dozens remain hospitalized in critical condition. families overtaken by grief at the local morgue. spanish officials said on state television that the tragedy appears to be linked to the train going too fast. some spanish media estimates suggest the train was moving at 118 miles per hour, more than double the speed limit on that tight turn portion of the track. the train driver is under formal investigation we're told. he's in police custody but so far he's not been charge with anything, chris. >> karl, thank you very much.

joining us now we're going to give you an exclusive interview with one of the survivors of that crash, american steven ward. thank you for joining us. let's take care of what matters first. how are you feeling? you looked banged up but what is your condition? >> well, oh boy my condition is improving quickly and i have nothing that is going to be permanent or not going to heal on its own so as well as i could be doing. >> all right, now, the second thing, you're 18 years old. does your family know you're okay? have you contacted everybody you need to? do you need us to help you out with any of that? >> yes. >> you're okay. >> family knows? >> no, i've contacted my family. they're very happy to hear from me. >> all right, all right, good. now let's get to what happened here. you're in spain on a religious fellowship for the mormon church, right? >> yep, i'm serving a mission we call it, yes. >> so you're serving your mission, you're on the train. did you feel that it was going very fast? was that something you could sense? >> so i saw a little screen

across from me that had the speed on it, and it was very, very fast, but it didn't feel that much faster to me but i wasn't paying super close attention so i would have believed you if you told me we were going way too fast. >> take me through what happens and how you experience it. >> basically i was writing in my journal, i saw the speed and thought it was funny, thought it might be an error, and then we went around a sharp turn and all of a sudden like you could tell one set of wheels left the rails. we were riding on one set of wheels for two or three seconds and there wasn't really screaming, most people were like oh, but no one got super scared about it. few things of lug annual started falling off the racks and after one or two seconds you could feel us leave the other side of the racks and the whole train rotated 90 degrees and i blacked

out before i hit the ground which was lucky for me and the next thing i knew they were helping me out. >> why do you think you blacked out? did something hit you? do you know what happened? >> there was plenty of luggage in the racks up above that could have hit me or it could have been suddenly gravity was sideways. i say better before than during. >> when you come to, what are you seeing all around you? >> come to is a funny word. it felt like a dream. i remember someone inside, i don't remember what it looked like inside. the train had fell into a ditch and i looked around i was one of the first people they helped out, they were screaming, there were bodies and smoke and after 30 seconds or a minute i finally thought to myself i don't think i'm asleep. i think this is real and that was a scary realization and poom

were helping and i sat there dumb-founded for a while. >> was it obvious to you that this was really catastrophic, what was going on? there are a lot of people hurt and affected by this? >> i think, yes, i think i realized it. i don't think my mind really comprehended it. i had kind of a concussion so i was still just kind of oh the train crashed and trying to remember what had happened before but i gradually kind of got it back up and realized i think people are dead. i think this is horrible, but i don't think i really comprehended the importance of it until later. >> you said you felt like we were the walking dead there. why? because there was just nowhere to go and it was just kind of limbo, huh? >> no, i didn't really feel like the walking dead, i looked like the walking dead and many people did. everyone was covered in blood. i've got staples all over my

scalp. i was covered in blood, they scrubbed most of it off me. everyone was covered with blood and the blood of others. it was gruesome. >> this was horrible to live through but you did live through it thank god and you know what it's like to get lucky and make it through something. four years ago even though you were a young man you had to fight off a rare form of cancer, right? tell us about that. >> it was a cancer called burkett's lymphoma, it was intestinal. i had it once, came back, i beat the odds there and grateful to have lived through another brush with death now. >> where does this situation leave you? do you want to get home or does this strengthen your resolve you want to stay on mission in spain? >> i absolutely want to stay on my mission in spain. i am so proud to be out here representing my church, i'm proud to be representing jesus christ and i'm so glad that i've been left alive without permanent injury.

i very much plan on staying out here for, missions are usually for two years for young man and i plan on serving the full two. >> stephen, thank you so much. i know you're banged up. i appreciate you spending time with us. thank god you made it through and good luck with the mission. >> thank you very much. good luck to you as well. >> all right. he's lucky he made it through. many did not. we're still trying to figure out what happened in that situation and we'll bring you details on the investigation as we get them. a lot of other news going on this morning as well. let's head over to michaela for the latest. >> what a tremendous firsthand account. thanks for sharing that with us. good morning, everyone. we could find out in a few hours whether ariel castro would accept a plea deal. it could be announced at a hearing this morning. an attorney for the victims say they are hoping for a plea deal because they do not want to

women and four more women have come forward claiming they, too, were victims of those advances, brings the total number of accusers up to seven. one of the women has filed a sexual harassment suit. filner says he will not step down and feels he will be vindicated. this is not the way a would be burglar in arkansas thought this whole scheme up. michael wayne case jr. thought he'd break into a pawn shop going down the chimney, he got stuck. when the owner came into work he heard case screaming for help. they threw a rope down to pull him up and the cops took case to another small space, one with bars around it. santa claus is the only one who can pull that off. it made sense in his head somehow. >> i love the way that's where he got his idea. zblincht >> it's not about the size. it's about magic.

>> moral of the story you're not santa claus. we have tropical storms on both coasts to talk about. indra petersons is watching both of them and all the weather for us. >> good news on dorian as expected it did weaken, a lot of try air is in front of it. yesterday it had steady winds of 60 miles per hour, today dropping down to 50 miles per hour. the biggest change we're noticing today other than all the dry air it has to get through is the path, a little bit of a change. the dry air is a good thing, it's expected to weaken but the bad side is the new path dropped it a little bit farther south which means it could impact some of the islands. here's what it looks like if it holds together 45 miles per hour, a weak tropical storm monday north of puerto rico. by wednesday it could slam into the turks and caicos and the bahamas. on the other side of the country we have flossie out there and notice flossie unfortunately is

strengthening. remember we had that dorian weakening, this one here is strengthening, not expected to strengthen too much but it does like it has the potential to hit the hawaiian islands by monday but they're just barely above tropical storm strength. we're still early in the season and not looking at anything at least at hurricane status. >> that's fine. stay weak and stay away. that's what we need. indra, thank you. >> just seeing those spiny little symbols that's enough to make you nervous about what may come. keep getting to indra so you can guide us through it. we'll take you through to the commercial. coming up on the other side of "new day," pope francis making waves in blah zillion, frankly doing what he said he would do, speaking out against corruption and the deep divide between rich and poor in latin america and elsewhere. we'll take you live to rio de janeiro. o.j. simpson pleading with a parole board to set him free. why he thinks he's already served more than enough time for his crime. hey, the new guy is loaded with protein!

welcome back to "new day" everyone. this morning, pope francis will bring his message of faith to young prisoners in brazil. the pontiff spoke at a huge rally on rio de janeiro's copacabana's beach last night. millions flooded into town for world youth day. miguel marquez is in rio with the latest. good morning, miguel. >> reporter: good morning there, kate. bon gios, the sun is finally and thankfully out here and the pope is certainly hitting his stride. the moment of the night i think was the elvis moment where he was removing his skull cap and throwing it to the adoring crowds. world youth day about half way over and it is moving at a fever

pitch. pope francis facing the biggest crowd yet welcoming hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. he first asked for a moment of silence. silence for a group of pilgrims whose bus crashed, killing one, so many so silent a powerful and touching moment. the pope throughout his trip aligning himself with the underclasses, those struggling with joblessness, addiction or poverty. in a rio slum he shushed rambunctious boys, prayed with them and blessed them. it is these young people he hopes to reach. "dear young friends" he says "you have particular sensitivity toward injustice. do not lose trust, do not lose hope. situations change. people change." with security at a maximum, it was hard at times for the pope to interact with his flock. some nervous moments as mothers thrust their babies toward

francis in his pope mobile, like a politician, kissing quickly becoming his trademark and in a nod to pop culture he tossed skull cap after skull cap to the adoring crowd. another awe-inspiring moment, the pope addressing his fellow argentine argentineans. it was more like a soccer or football match. no matter where he goes the crowds grow, his voice, their faith growing stronger. now a little bad news for pilgrims here, faith field, an area they were supposed to walk to five or six miles outside of rio, that has been canceled, all events will now take place here because there was so much rain in the last couple of days the field was too muddy and the other thing that's happening tonight is the pope will walk the stations of the cross set up along copacabana beach and it will be a resilient version of the stations of the cross. it should be a very, very

interesting show. chris, kate, back to you. >> it's been interesting so far, can't say what happens next. >> that will be an unusually emotional things for the pilgrim, the stations of the cross or the march of the resurrection of jesus, it's a big thing for catholics. this is what he wanted to do, reach out to people, deal with the problems of social poverty and whatnot. >> and he seems to have a gentle touch, quite a finesse. you get the memorable moment of tossing out his skull cap is interesting. >> believes in the people and so far he's showing it. good for all of them down there. when we come back on "new day," o.j. is saying i want out. former football legend pleading with a parole board to release him from prison early. and did you hear the one about the bear who walked into a bar? there's more, and it's no joke. we'll let you know how this all played out. ♪ it's only half past 12:00 but i don't care ♪ ♪ it's five o'clock somewhere

now into his second term saying he wants the congress to give him more money for bridges, roads and infrastructure. others heard sorry mr. president we don't like your plan. the president is getting more confrontational kate not only in washington issuing veto threats to republican spending plans but taking his plan on the road, as we get closer to midterm elections there is the very real prospect of a potential government shutdown, just a little bit down the road, this is the president's way to shake the argument so he believes he'd have the upper hand. republicans are saying as we try to move spending initiatives we'll take out, health care has been one, we'll take out other key obama issues. the white house is sending a signal do you that we will force a government shutdown. even if the president has a hand in the shutdown the republicans will get the blame. >> that's some of the conversation happening now especially on capitol hill, republicans wanting to, even though they've tried to repeal or defund the president's health

care law more than 30 times, they now want to tie it to budget bills and the budget battles that are going to happen in the fall. that's now causing a lot of heartburn and really a lot of division within the republican party, so what is the strategy then? >> that's a great question because the republicans are out of power, they don't have any one leader like the democrats have with the president. even when the democrats disagree with the president they tend to mute that because you have one leader. republicans are standing on principle whether it's opposing obama care or opposing other spending initiatives the president wants. some are saying let's put our initiatives in the spending bill so the president signs a bill that would repeal or delay part of obama care. the president is never going to do that so you do have republicans richard burr, conservative senator from north carolina telling politico it's the dumbest idea he ever heard to have the prospect of a government shutdown. yesterday we talked about immigration, spending and taxes are another one with the republican party. the white house knows this which is why the president's being

more confrontational. he believes he has the upper hand politically as republicans have the internal policy war. >> explain to the audience why it makes sense to the politicians in this case the democrats that shutting down the government and punishing people who need services is good for people? >> welcome to washington. it doesn't make sense. it doesn't make sense but it is how this town has become so dysfunctional that it is how they exercise the leverage of power. we've had some progress, student loans, we talked about where people who actually disagree instead of doing these stunts or these confrontations or these threats go into a room and talk until they figure it out. it's an interesting theory. maybe they should try more of that on some things. other times you get this confrontation. is the government likely to shutdown? no, but have we been through this dance several times in the past few years with threats and every now and then you think it's not going to happen. well the divisions are big enough that it could happen and part of the president's road show is to give him the

political upper hand if it does. >> john thank you so much. have a great weekend. we'll see you next week. it's not just some republicans coming up with this idea. these are presidential hopefuls are pushing this idea of tying obama care, marco rubio and rand paul. >> republicans, democrats, at the end of the day you can't tell them apart most of the times when it comes to this tactics. >> if it's not one this time shutting down the government it's the other. >> it's tone deafness to american families. i get why you guys at home shake your head and don't want to listen anymore. it's obvious they're not thinking about you care about. it's a tough job. coming up on "new day" he calls himself an ideal inmate insisting he's already done enough time. that's o.j. simpson trying to convince a parole board to set him free. what do you think will happen? could it possibly be the smoking gun in the aaron hernandez case. how the former patriots star may have given the prosecution a

find, you can't say he's guilty. >> reporter: anderson cooper spoke exclusively to juror b-37 soon after the verdict how they got to a not guilty verdict. >> after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law and reading it over and over and over again we decided there's just no way, other place to go. >> reporter: after more than 16 hours of deliberations, maddy says she struggled with the proof to have an picket. >> how did you go from in nine hours from feeling he was guilty of sektd second-degree murder and not guilty? >> a lot of wanted to find something bad we could connect to the law. >> reporter: maddy concedes she still struggles with the verdict and the public outcry that followed. >> i literally fell on my knees and broke down, my husband was holding me, i was screaming and crying and i kept saying to myself i feel like i killed him. >> what would you like to say to trayvon's parents?

>> i would like to apologize because i feel like i let them down. >> and the response to what maddy had to say trayvon martin's mother released a statement saying this new information challenges our nation once again to do everything we can to make sure that this never happens to another child. chris? >> thanks, pamela. let's bring in some legal analysis to figure out what this means and figuring out how this verdict came to be. sunny hostin, former prosecutor and cnn legal analyst and paul callan cnn legal analyst and defense attorney. getting tired of introducing you guys. you're obviously family. thank you for helping us with this. the first thing he want to look at here you sat in the courtroom the entire time. >> yes. >> you were not surprised that this woman was the holdout. why? >> no, i mean i observed her every single day, clearly she was the only non-white juror. she was a mother of eight children. i was there for jury selection

as well and she spoke eloquently about wanting to serve on the jury and so i watched her closely, and i thought that she got it. she seemed to understand rachel jae jeantle's testimony and during the prosecution's rebuttal argument i saw her nodding in agreement that tells me as a former prosecutor she's with the state on this. >> was it a mistake the verdict or was it the only choice under the law. >> i don't think it was a mistake. we'll see a lot of this, this is remorse sometimes jurors feel later on when they go back to their communities and people are saying how could you have come back with guilty in this case and they try to rethink the decision and come to this conclusion but she focuses on the interview the law wouldn't permit her to vote guilty because there was no intent to commit murder. well the charge in man slaughter is an intent to commit an act,

not murder, an act that causes death. so if they just read the instructions, clearly you could have voted yes, guilty, if you found the evidence was there. >> right. >> i think in the end she didn't find the evidence was there to support the law. >> i completely disagree. when you look at the jury instructions the jury instructions clearly said, chris, the state does not not have to prove that george zimmerman intended to kill trayvon martin. the in the interview she said in order to find him guilty of manslaughter we had to find when he left his home he intended to kill trayvon martin. that is a fundamental misunderstanding of manslaughter. >> we should give her a little leeway, she may be confused about which law she's talking about. this is confusing stuff. >> i don't know. she said what she said. i don't think we can say she was confused. >> but that would have been the right analysis for the murder charge. >> for the murder charge but not for manslaughter. they didn't have to prove

intent. >> i read the charge which she had in front of her, intent to commit an act which causes death. >> we were talking about the jury instructions. i was shouted down roundly saying chris these instructions are always like this. >> i said that to you. >> i wasn't going to throw you under the bus because you're stronger than me. we may not have heard it yet it's what i don't hear her discuss. i believe this part of the analysis may have been poot in that room, no matter whether they thought he was guilty of murder or man slaughter it came down to whether it was justifiable and i didn't hear her ask or answer about how she felt about self-defense because why? because if she felt that, yes, he was guilty of manslaughter but he had to do what he did, he had to do that intentional act. >> that's not manslaughter. that's the law. >> but it's interesting, paul and chris, she did say when asked about the screams which i think was the bedrock of the defense case arguing that george

zimmerman was screaming for his life because he was in fear of eminent death. she said i didn't focus on that and that is striking to me. >> there was a follow-up this morning with more details and i listened to it. she said she listened to the screams but in the end she couldn't decide whose extremes it consisted of. >> also we have to remember this. why do we keep talking about it because people aren't getting it, they're not satisfied. they think something went wrong in there but dhubl what we're hearing from two different jurors makes one common point. they weren't sure about what happened and whether it mattered under the law and in our system that's called reasonable doubt and you're supposed to acquit. >> two things i'm saying, yes that's part of it, you're supposed to acquit and secondly it's the group dynamics of jury deliberations. in every case you have one or two jurors with one point of view, others with another point. they had an argument back and

forth and it's hard if you're a single juror talking with five other human beings who say your position doesn't make any sense. the movie "12 angry men" the one guy converts everyone else. it's hard for jurors to move the majority. >> i agree but what i'm hearing more and more is a fundamental misunderstanding of the jury instructions and you and i, chris, talked about it. as i read te as a lawyer with my legal hat on they're standard jury instructions, perhaps clear to me because i read them so many times in practice. when i listen to the jurors i think the lawyers failed these jurors, perhaps the judge failed these jurors because they didn't have a clear understanding of the law and applying the facts to the law. >> do you think it would have made a difference if the instruction was different even if they still had to get to those final moments and whether or not they thought that george zimmerman was reasonably in fear of serious injury. i keep coming back to that

because if they believed just that, then they have to acquit. >> i absolutely think it would have been different especially because we know that they asked for this clarification on maun slaughter and they didn't really get it so he were struggling with the law. >> at the end we have this blank period of time where the actual encounter between the two individuals takes place and it's just not there. the evidence wasn't there as to what precisely happened. that's of course reasonable doubt. it's very hard for a jury to speculate and say we're going to draw all these inferences and conflict him of manslaughter. >> you heard jurors saying we were trying to find him guilty of something. which is also a little frightening on a different level. they're supposed to be in there seeing what it is, not having an intent to convict. first of all thank you, sunny and paul. appreciate the perspective. we keep talking about this because there's confusion and we want you to know one thing, don't blame these jurors because they're saying things we heard

often. if anything they had a heightened sense of responsibility in this case. that's objectively true. we hear the two jurors saying the same thing, these people tried to do their best. kate? >> chris, thank you. new developments in the spanish passenger derailment. the driver is under formal investigation and police are waiting to question him and we learned a woman from arlington, virginia, is among the at least 78 people who died in that crash, just look at that video. cnn's karl penhaul joins us live from santiago de compostela, spain. so karl what is the latest from the ground? >> reporter: well kate we've heard even in the last few moments that things have moved on with the train driver situation. the chief of police jamie iglesias confirmed he has been formally detained and accused of charges relating to the accident. we don't know the specifics but

hope to hear more later. investigators still pouring away trying to piece together other clues as well. the heart-stopping moment of impact caught on security camera. it's a difficult scene to watch as the train speeds around the bend, flies off the tracks and slams into concrete. flames engulf one of the cars, another ripped in half. >> it was horrific, it was so griming, it was so surreal. it felt like a horror movie. >> reporter: the crash wednesday killed at least a third of the passengers on board in the town of santiago de compostela. this morning we're learning that one american was killed, anna maria cordoba, a virginia mother traveling with her family, according to the catholic diocese of arlington. she was headed to meet her son who just reached a pilgrimage in spain. her husband and daughter were injured but survived. >> i can only imagine how horrible it must have been for their son, you know, waiting for them to arrive.

it's just such a horrible story, brought home very closely to us because of anna maria's death. >> reporter: emergency crews and fellow passengers pulled victims from the wreckage. >> everybody started running down with whatever they could and starting hitting at the cars to see if they could get the people out. >> reporter: dozens remain hospitalized in critical condition. families of the dead overtaken by grief at the local morgue. spanish officials said on state television that the tragedy appears to be linked to the train going too fast. some spanish media estimates suggest the train was moving at 118 miles per hour, more than double the speed limit on that tight turn portion of the track. now police and investigators will not just be relying on testimony from the driver of that train. we also understand now the judges have possession of the black box from the locomotives

to see if that can also give clues about why this accident took place. back to you in the studio. >> karl thanks so much. just so horrific. >> i know, that scene took so long to understand. karl's been there throughout. thank you for the reporting from him. >> the investigation is starting to pick up now. we have a lot of news for you this morning, development in another major case we've been watching the terrible horrible thing in cleveland that happened to those three young people. >> accused kidnaper, cleveland kidnaper aerial castro could accept a plea deal today. prosecutors are offering him life in prison without parole, and allows his victims to avoid a painful trial. castro is accused of torturing and raping the women for more than a decade. an egyptian judge ordered mohamed morsi to spend 15 days in jail. the charge collaborating with hamas in 2011 and break brother

welcome back to "new day" everybody. apt know weiner revealing the number of women that he has sectioned with before and after he resigned from congress, this as the woman at the center of his latest scandal speaking publicly for the very first

time. mary snow is live in new york with more. it's difficult to keep track of it all. >> reporter: good morning, kate. anthony weiner would love more than anything to change the topic back to politics but it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon. the woman at the center of the anthony weiner scandal says the best description to the former congressman is from himself -- >> he's an argumentative horny man. >> reporter: she had these conversations online with him a year after he resigned last summer. >> he was making campaign promises he was a better man and learned from his mistakes and i am proof that that is not true. >> reporter: lisa weiss who exchanged explicit messages with then congressman weiner in 2010

and 2011 doesn't blame leathers. >> i understand to a point, yes i do because i would speak to him about politics and then he sort of turns the conversation into a sexual thing and it becomes very flattering. >> reporter: weiner appearing with his wife by his side admitted tuesday to a new round of lewd exchanges with women after he got caught and left office. on thursday for the first time he put a number on just how many women. >> i don't believe i had any more than three. >> reporter: and as for how many all together? >> it's not dozens and dozens. it is six to ten, i suppose. >> reporter: when he launched his mayoral campaign weiner raised the possibility that other women may come forward. now he says that's all behind him but admitted he continues to get professional help and when asked if it's an addiction? >> i don't believe that it is. the people that i'm working with don't believe that it is. >> reporter: all of this is

taking a toll on weiner's bid to become new york city mayor. poll taken since these latest revelations became public show a steep drop among registered democrats. it shows weiner 9% behind democratic rival christine quinn. in june weiner was ahead by five points. kate? >> mary, thanks so much. let's talk about the poll numbers and what this could mean for weiner's bid to become new york city's mayor. joining me is republican stratiest ana in a vnavarro and avalon has a morphing title at all times so i digress. i know ana has strong opinions on the poll numbers she wants to make known about this whole story. the poll that mary snow just talked about, john, first of all conducted since this latest scandal broke, wall

street/marist/nbc 4 new york poll showing weiner's approval has dropped by nine points his ranking in the race. christine quinn back on top. >> no, thank god. it shows people are paying attention, there's some bar of decency out there. the troubling thing about that poll is he's still in second place and in the democratic new york mayoral primary the top two get in the runoff. we're not out of the woods yet, mayor danger still on the possibility of the horizon. >> ana with this thought in mind another part of the poll that i thought was interesting the question of whether he should stay in the race or not, a slight majority of new yorkers say he should stay, some 47%. what does that tell you? >> you know, it's frankly vexing. i would almost tell you that i think the new yorkers might like the entertainment but i would say look put down the long island iced tea and take a good look at what's happening here. you have a guy who has admitted

to having a number of women who digits and three of them at dou- least after he resigned so his people that he's working with may not think or may not be telling him he's got an addiction. i don't know if he's getting therapy from hugh hefner. >> reality is of course this is an addiction, this is a pathetic parade, not a redemption campaign and people recognize the simple fact that 50 years ago this guy would be standing in times square in a raincoat not wearing pants. it seems fancier because he has a texting device involved. this is so pathetic but sometimes the celebrity car crash people can't turn away. >> it's really amazing the way he had a promising political career in congress. he flamed out over sexting. he made an amazing comeback which was jaw-dropping and he's flaming out again. you know what? put a fork in him, weiner is

done. >> that poses a real question though. right now he says that he is not bowing out. do you think this is something where he, is it going to take more of his number dropping further in the polls for him to drop out or do you think he's in it for the long haul? >> clearly he's enjoying the attention. when he walked out of the press conference there was no contrition and enjoyment being on camera. he has 45 days left for the last campaign of his life and he's going to stay in every single moment. the only people that can force them out are the people. that's democracy to them. >> some percentage of new york city that wants him to stay in the race. >> we'll see what the election looks like. i don't put anything past voters and little surprises me. i'm surprised mark sanford got reelected. lot of it also has to do with the competition. what we're seeing with the weiners, both of them, is a need

for redemption through election and i would say if you want redemption maybe you should go pray, maybe you should stop doing the wrong things you're doing. i'm not sure dragging the public through this scandal is the right way to go about this. >> from a woman's perspective in politics do you think the involved that huma, his wife has had, when she forcefully said he's made mistakes but i love and forgive him. is she what's keeping him in? >> i think it's a double edged sword. first of all had she not be there he would have been absolute toast and couldn't continue. her support is part of what is keeping him in there and i think she wants him to stay. also i think it's painful for women to see this. it makes all of us cringe and we're not happy at the fact that this man is putting this woman

through horrific humiliation in front of public cameras twice in her life. >> huma is the best thing that could happen to anthony weiner personally and professionally. after the "people" magazine spread he would behave in a way that could make a drunk look twice. >> if i was a new york voter something that would be very worrisome to me is apparently the people he sectioned were political groupies that then turned into these inappropriate sexting partners. you want to give him the high stress job and the high profile job that's going to attract political groupies given this spre prediliction. this characteristic let's say. >> way too kind. >> ana, john great to see you.

we'll continue to watch. the primary is september, a lot of time to see some i don't know, a lot of us to time more polls and more things to talk about. >> the story makes you constantly choose check yourself. we're going to take a break here on "new day." we've been talking about the advance in the aaron hernandez case. could this be the smoking gun surveillance photos appear to show the former patriots star holding a firearm just minutes away. is "more than idol" guilty of racism? we'll tell you about it.

juror b29 going by the name maddie told abc she favored convicting george zimmerman of second degree murder. >> i'm the only minority and i feel like i let a lot of people down. >> reporter: it was the all female jurors' interpretation of the law that led them to acquitting zimmerman. >> for myself, he's guilty. but as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can't find, you can't say he's guilty. >> reporter: anderson cooper spoke exclusively to juror b27 soon after the verdict on how they got to a not guilty verdict. >> after hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law and reading it over and over and over again and we decided there's just no way or other place to go. >> reporter: after more than 16 hours of deliberations, maddie says she struggled with the proof to convict. >> how did you go from in nine hours from feeling he was guilty

of second degree murder to not guilty? >> reporter: it was hard. a lot of us have wanted to find something bad. something we could connect to the law. >> reporter: she still struggles with the verdict and the public outcry that followed. i literally fell on my knees and i broke down. my husband was holding me and i was screaming and crying and i kept saying to myself i feel like i killed him. >> what would you like to say to trayvon's parents? >> i would like to apologize because i feel like i let him down. >> and the response trayvon martin's mother called the revelations devastating and released this statement saying the new information challenges our nation to do everything we can to make sure that this never happens to another child. chris? >> all right, pamela, thank you very much. let's talk about what this means now that we have two different jurors giving an

account of what happened in the room. cnn senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin. great to see you. let's start with one thing. this juror, like the last juror, said this is not about race and then says as the only minority, i feel like i let them down. one conflicts with the other, which means -- >> it means that we always have a hard time talking about race in this country and i think what -- it's just very hard for any of us to acknowledge that race affects much of anything, but we all know it does, at least in some way. i thought her, as you say, contradictory comments revealed that. it's there, but it's not there at the same time. >> she knows she's not supposed to say it. >> exactly. she's behaving as she thinks she should. >> the feeling that she owes the trayvon martin family an apology, does she? >> i don't think so. i think she was doing a job of a

juror. we have this mythology that comes from the movie "12 acry men" that one juror can sway 12, this was only a six-person juror. it is very unusual. tremendous peer group pressure. the system is designed to exert peer group. the fact that she joined the other five jurors is quite predictable and that's how things usually happen. >> there are those who are frustrated because they say these jurors didn't get it and now we heard from two now that they were spending time in that room, not just vigorously trying to apply fact to law, but looking for a way to convict him. they're not supposed to be doing that, per se. >> they reacted as human beings. one thing i have to say in fairness both to maddie and the other juror is that these jury instructions are really confusing. every time i sat in court as a prosecutor and journalist, i sat there and thought, how do you figure out what these concepts mean? maddie garbled the legal

definitions about intent, but i have a lot of sympathy for that. look, we had a situation where george zimmerman killed trayvon martin who was unarmed and how can you not feel a certain degree of sympathy? but i think the jurors followed the instructions on self-defense. looked at the evidence and came to a very plausible verdict. >> so, from what you heard from these two jurors, any basis for saying, they messed up, they got it wrong? >> you can say that based on the evidence. i don't think there's anything the jurors said that suggests they did a bad job. they did something inappropriate or wrong. other people see this evidence differently. but i think they came to a rational verdict. >> we've been running with the media all morning, he got away with murder. do you think we're putting too much weight on to that? she was responding to a question where a lot of people think he got away from murder, do you think she was just repeating what was said? >> my whole impression of the

interview was she was reacting as much to the reaction of the verdict as to the trial. they were sequestered and they didn't know this had become a huge national story and they didn't know the president of the united states would express an opinion and protests across the country. i think she looked somewhat traumatized but my sense was she was more traumatized by the aftermath than by the verdict itself. >> interesting what we did not hear this juror discuss may have been what was most important in the jury room, according to the first juror which was self-defense. >> she talked about the level of intent. i think what she meant was self-defense. but, look, that's what the whole case was about. this was not a who done it. the only issue in this case was what was inside george zimmerman's head and what did he intend and they decided it was self-defense. >> we can all know this certainly with one juror we couldn't see her face and now you get a better feel. they tried their hardest and they did their best and this

mattered a lot to them. >> true, too, that second thoughts on the parts of jurors are very common. >> yes. >> they have no legal significance. you can't go back and do it again because the juror thinks i made a mistake. >> good distinction, jeffrey toobin, thanks. new video shows the driver of the train being led away from the scene. the driver now formally under investigation. just look at that. authorities trying to determine if speed played a role in that wreck that has left at least 78 people dead this morning, autothat number is still expected to climb. let's get back to cnn's carl penhall joining us. so, carl, what is the latest that you are hearing from the ground? >> well, kate, police chief has now said that the train driver has been formally detained ask could be accused of crimes relating to that accident. he hasn't given us any specifics yet, but, of course, all eyes on

him now to see if any of his actions were wreckless and if that is what caused this massive death toll. the heartstopping moment of impact caught on security camera. it's a difficult scene to watch as the train speeds around the bend, flies off the tracks and slams into concrete. flames engulfed one of the cars and another ripped in half. >> it was horrific. it was so surreal. it felt like a horror movie. >> reporter: the crash wednesday killed at least a third of the passengers onboard. this morning, we're learning that one american was killed a virginia mother traveling with her family a, according to the catholic diocese of arlington. she was heading to meet her son, who had just finished a pilgrimage in spain. her husband and daughter were injured, but survived. >> i can only imagine how horrible it must have been for

their son waiting for them to arrive. just such a horrible story. just brought home very closely to us because anna maria's death. >> reporter: emergency crews and fellow passengers pulled victims from the wreckage. >> everybody started running down with whatever they could and started seeing if they could get people out. >> reporter: dozens remained hospitalized in critical condition and families of the dead to the local morgue. spanish officials said on state television that the tragedy appears to be linked to the train going too fast. some spanish media estimates suggest that the train was moving at 118 miles per hour. more than double the speed limit on that tight turn portion of the track. >> that's karl penhaul reporting from spain. now, earlier in a "new day" exclusive i spoke with stephen wards an 18-year-old badly injured in that train

derailment. he's okay, but he told me exactly what happened as the train began to leave the rails. >> i was writing in my journal. i kind of looked up and saw the speed and thought, that's funny. i thought it might have been an error or something. then we went around a sharp turn and all of a sudden like you could tell one set of wheels left the rails. we were just kind of riding on one set of wheels for two or three segments and there wasn't screaming. but no one got super scared about it. a few things of luggage started falling off the racks and then in another two seconds you could feel the train leave the other track. i blacked out before we hit the ground, which was very lucky for me and the next thing i knew they were helping me out. >> when you come to, what are you seeing all around you? >> so, come to is a funny word to use in this situation. i thought it was a dream for a couple of minutes. i vaguely remember someone helping me out of the car.

i don't remember what it looked like inside at all. and then they kind of helped me out. the train had fallen into a ditch where i was and they helped me out and off to the side. i was one of the first people they helped out. there was screaming and bodies and smoke and it was after 30 seconds or a minute i finally thought to myself, you know, i don't think i'm asleep. i think this is real. that was a scary realization. >> was it obvious to you that this was catastrophic what was going on. a lot of people hurt and affected by this? >> i think, yes, i think i realized it. i don't think my mind really comprehended it. i had kind of a concession so i was like, oh, the train crashed. i was still trying to remember what had happened before, but i gradually kind of got back up and realized, you know, i think people are dead. i think this is horrible. but i don't think i really comprehended the importance of it until later. >> you know what it is like to get lucky and make it through something. four years ago, even though you are a young man, you had to

fight off a very rare form of cancer. tell us about that. >> yes. cancer is intestinal and i had it twice, it came back once and there were a bunch of times that looked like i was going to die and i beat the odds then and grateful to live through another brush now. >> where does this situation leave you? do you want to get home or strengthen yoursolve that you want to stay on mission in spain? >> i absolutely want to stay on my mission in spain. i'm so proud to be out here representing my church. i'm proud to be out here representing jesus christ and so glad i have been left alive without permanent injury and plan to stay out here for missions are for two years for young men and i plan on serving the full two. >> interesting stephen says it only strengthened his resolve to serve others. >> when you think about it, more than 200 people on that train.

78 at least dead at this point and they could still see that number rise. stay close to this story. thanks so much, chris. new calls this morning for san diego's mayor to resign. the city's democratic party asked bob filner to call it quits now that seven women have come forward to say he sexually harassed all of them. cnn's casey wian has the very latest. >> four more women came forward thursday to accuse san diego mayor bob filner of inappropriate sexual conduct that include a university dean and a retired navy reared amirable. >> bob stepped between me and the doorway and he stopped me and he got very close to me and he ran his finger up my cheek and he whisperred to me, do you have a man in your life? >> he came in and kissed me on the lips and i'd have to squirm to get away and just as recently as a few months ago, this happened. and i turned and he just slobbered down my chin and i was

so violated. >> reporter: a total of seven women have now publicly accused filner of unwanted kissing, groping. he showed up thursday at a trolley ground breaking. he refused to acknowledge reporters' messages. >> you are not addressing the allegations directly right now. >> reporter: filner admitted treating women badly but denies sexual harassment. >> what do you say to these women? >> reporter: finally the mayor said this -- >> there is a legal process by which all of this will be decided and that's what we'll deal with. >> reporter: one woman has filed a lawsuit while the mayor tries to make light of the controversy. >> i see you found a wonderful way to attract media attention for our efforts on the trolley. >> reporter: thursday night the county democrat party voted to urge the mayor to step down. casey wian, cnn, san diego.

and i kept hearing the same thing. they were flattered. wow, he likes me and that's the odd, warped distortion in this kind of online relationship and a sense of danger and fantasy to it that i think was frankly quite enticinenticing. >> she also described it that he became controlling. some jealousy of what he read on her facedom bo dofacebook page people were commrmeplimenting h. >> when you look at anthony weiner and sydney leathers you think, but, it's her real name. she said towards the end of this, about six-month relationship he became jealous of people posting on her facebook page that they thought she was attractive and was getting too much attention. around the same time the "new york times" article came out

that reflected he was running for office and changed man and his wife forgave him. all of that together she finally realized this guy is not going to change. she felt he was controlling, manipulative and she doesn't feel like a victim. she takes responsibility for this but does feel like he was manipulating. >> she chuckled a little bit, you do see that she is smiling at points throughout the interview and you know people are already talking about it. she's facing criticism, as well. she's only looking for profit and seems to be enjoying all the attention that she's getting. is she concerned about the blow back? >> i don't think it hit her really until after our interview and i'll tell you why. she is concerned. she starts school again as a sophomore in college next month. and after our interview there was a story, i believe it was in "daily mail" and it said something, all these

allegations. she said to me her greatest fear was that anthony weiner's political machine is going to come out and somehow destroy her. people around her are going to sell her out and i read the allegations in the story which she said were not true and i left to get her a glass of water and came back and she was crying. you know, i think the reality hit her that this is going to be a much bigger problem. she might have to take a semester off from school, she doesn't know if she can go back and she is fearful this is going to follow her much longer than she initially thought. >> her name is absolutely out there and linked with quite a story and scandal at this point. >> by the way, today she's going to be talking about some of the texts on "inside edition" that she wrote to him and received from him. >> you have a second part of the interview coming up today, which we will all be looking forward to see. great to see you, jim. thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up on "new day," o.j. simpson is using a new playbook

to get out of prison. we'll tell you what he told a parole board to convince them to let him go free. there he is, hugh jackman. everybody likes him. we'll sit down and have some fun and watch it for yourself. tell me what you think. vital nu?

100% accurate, it is friday. welcome back to "new day." i'm chris cuomo. >> i'm kate bolduan and let's get straight to michaela for the five things you need to know for your "new day."

>> juror says george zimmerman got away with murder because he could not be convicted under florida law. in court today, the man behind the cleveland house of horrors, aerial castro may accept a plea deal to give him life in prison but avoid the death penalty. prosecutors in texas could announce whether they plan to seek accused of murdering two county prosecutors and one of their wives. pope francis will meet with children throughout the day and talk to young prisoners, as well. also perform the stations of the cross. and at number five, a very happy birthday to the ageless mick jagger. rolling stones frontman hits the big 7-0. who is the person who gets to sing happy birthday to mick. we are always updating the five things you need to know. >> thank you, michaela. o.j. simpson asking a nevada parole board for an early

release saying he's been nothing but a model prisoner. simpson was locked up five years ago on kidnapping and robbery convictions and sentenced to 33 years in prison. ted rollins has the latest on this. >> i miss my two younger kids who worked hard getting through high school. >> reporter: appearing on closed circuit tv from prison he tried to convincing a two-person nevada patrol panel that he deserves to be free and he's different than other inmates. >> the difference between all of their crimes and mine is that they were trying to steal other people's property. they were trying to steal other people's money. my crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property. >> reporter: simpson is serving 33 years for a 2008 hotel room arm aed robbery in las vegas where he confronted two old friends who he thought had stolen his sports memorabilia. >> i would give it all back to

these guys. they could have it all to get these last five years back. >> reporter: even if granted parole on the sentence he's currently serving, simpson will remain in prison at least another four years. tony sat on the simpson jury as an alternate. while he agrees with the guilty verdict, he thinks the sentence is too harsh. >> it seems like a lot for what he did in that scenario. >> reporter: his best chance at freedom lies in an impending motion. his old attorney botched the case and had a conflict of interest. simpson's new lawyers argued that point back in may. >> after the hearing, i think everybody felt very good about it. >> we felt like we nailed it. >> reporter: decisions on both his parole and the motion for a new trial are expected within the next few weeks. if simpson gets a new trial, it is unlikely prosecutors would go through it all over again. meaning o.j. simpson could be a free man.

>> ted, thanks so much. coming up next on "new day" an aim at a dye used. how it is made. might freak you out a little bit. hugh jackman is coming. look at him. the wolverine. >> scary moment. >> that was close. ♪

welcome back to "new day," everyone. you might want to think twice

before you take another bite of the yogurt. just kidding. a consumer group is taking aim at a dye used by danon because it is derived by insects. elizabeth cohen is in atlanta with more on this. so, what is going on, elizabeel? >> who knew they used insects to color all sorts of foods. cakes and candies and drinks and apparently yogurt. what gives this strawberry yogurt its pink color? if you thought berries would you ever be wrong. it is bugs. these insects are valued for their vibrant red color when crushed, as demonstrated here by the north carolina museum of natural sciences. >> in just seconds it turns into a brilliant scarlet red dye. >> reporter: last year starbucks said it would stop using it and now danon should get it out of its yoegerts.

>> company like danon should be coloring its strawberry yogurt with strawberries and not some insect extract. >> reporter: they say danon is being deceptive. >> the average yogurt eater sees the redness and thinks strawberries. there's a picture of a strawberry on the label, not an insect. >> reporter: and the group says dozens of consumers have complained that the bug coloring has caused vomiting, hives and swelling. in a statement, danon said, carmine is a safe, fda approved, vivid red color that many food makers use including dannon in some of our products because it delivers the best color throughout shelf life of the product. >> now, we just saw that starbucks is no longer using insects. instead they're using a coloring that comes from tomatoes.

chris, kate. >> good to know. >> especially if you like youry. if you didn't know and you're eating them all the time, freak you out to learn about the bug stuff. >> yeah, it would. across the u.s., 2.7 million grandparents are actually raising their own grandchildren. the problems they face are unique and often overwhelming. and that's where this week's cnn's hero comes in. take a look. >> one day my daughter came to my door and she handed me three kids. says, here, mom. i'll call you later. and it's seven years already. it changes your life. >> at 60, wow, i have to raise this baby. how am i going to do it? >> does anybody have a crisis? for most grandparent it does wreak havoc because they are living on fixed incomes and they were not prepared to take in one

or multiple children. >> i help grandparents who suddenly have to take in grandchildren. when my daughter was 27 she committed suicide and left an 8-year-old. >> my parents were my inspiration from a family tragedy something wonderful has happened. >> you are going to get past this. >> when a family calls, whether it's help with the school, finding a pediatrician, resources. you will find a way to help you. >> all of a sudden i had things coming in, clothes, they're like my therapy. >> they help me get on my feet. >> i want to introduce you to a new grandmother. >> the relatives doing this that deserve the recognition. i have never gotten up once and said, i can't do this any more. i just love what i do. >> never said she couldn't do it again. a hero by any measure.

and they're like, we got the sound effects covered, man. you don't have to worried about the bang, pop, pow stuff. >> are you surprised by how much wattage the movie is getting? the people who love the character and the series say this is the one. >> i have to admit i'm so gratified because 13 years i wanted to make this particular movie based on this japanese storyline and i still haven't felt up until now have the definitive movie about the characters and i was out there saying this is what i wanted to do. the fact it is getting that kind of reception and i'm enjoying it more than ever. maybe this is my mid-life crisis waiting to happen that i know it will come to an a end at some point and i'm loving it. >> in the movie, you really look like you're on the downturn. you have a little soft -- >> you have to compare spirit. i don't understand why you would want to go and do it if you don't want to be better.

the physicality such a big part of it. i just can't go, let's do what we did last time. that's not in my dna. >> this is really, there's going to be transformation for you on every level. first of all, you're not playing yourself. you have to tap into who you think wolverine is. what do you tell yourself? who is this person? you are so sweet, so genial and you have to tap into darkness. what do you tell yourself? >> like yourself, i played a lot of rugby. you know there's darkness there. that was just a great way to get it out. violence like that game. but i dolittle triggers. first of all, important to understand that everything comes from some kind of pain or trauma. that's what makes x-men enduring. he is not mangering claws with claws and he is complex. as an act aer, i'm looking for that. what makes him dark and what kind of pain he had to endure over so many years and we are

all playing on some level. down to physical things. i take a cold shower and that just immediately puts me in a bad mood. immediately in a bad mood. >> i believe it. >> that's where this guy lives. >> that's job for you, too. that's not vanity. you say normally you'd be walking around at a different weight. this isn't how you would live your life, but you dedicate yourself to it. >> for me, this is an important part of the character. i don't want, hey, goes to the gym, looking buff. i want him to look frightening and visceral. he has this animalistic side to him and that's where he lives. the physicality, he has to show that. >> you're all about family. how cool is it for them. how cool for daddy to be the expert. >> my son was born when i was

making "x-men 1" and he never said a word to me about it ever. friends are impressed. please, my dad is not anything like that character. he's not cool, he's not tough. just in this movie, i had to see the movie at 7:00 a.m., so, there is no 7:00 a.m. for 13 year olds. he woke up at 6:00 and is it time to go? have i missed it? are we going to be late? i was like, got you. >> he is 13, he is going to get a little attitude and are you going to flash him a little wolverine. >> the claws come out. homework. are we going to do this the easy way. >> you won the tony. most people in your business would have said, i won it. that was a test, you passed. the oscar nomination for les

mis" you can sing, you can dance, you can act. how important is that to you? >> versatility for me growing up in australia was survival. you can't just be a movie actor. only ten movies made a year. happened to be the thing made, as well. for me act aing whething whethe screen or stage giving me the constant challenges. i woke up one day and offered to host the oscars. i never thought it would happen but these kind of challenges that keep you moving forward and just pugging yourseshing yourse. we wish you all success with the movie and i look forward to seeing it, again, because my kids will want to see it. thanks for being on "new day." kate, over to you. i know you're jealous. >> for once, you are right, chris. we'll be right back after this. yeah... try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya!
